Showing The World How DC Rocks

Cinco de Sandra party

Shameless self promotion! Saturday night some good friends are throwing a party called Cinco de Sandra. The aforementioned Sandra is Sandra Beasley, a DC poet whose collection titled I Was The Jukebox won the 2009 Barnard Women Poets Prize, and Saturday is her birthday. Joining her in presenting their artistic work are creators Jim Dougan, Molly Lawless, Tony Mancus, Jennifer Tress, Natalie E. Illum and the force of nature that is Mr. Dean Haspiel, probably best known outside of the comics world as the artist of the title sequence of the HBO show Bored To Death. In addition to all that awesomeness, DJ P.Vo (that’s me!) will be spinning some tunes, mostly from the Hometown Sounds library (but I can’t rule out a fun mashup or two). It’s hosted by Brandon Weatherbee of the talk show You, Me, Them, Everything, and it all goes down at the Hillyer Art Space in Dupont Circle starting at 8 PM. So ditch the margaritas and mariachi music and come party with a bunch of crazy artist types!
